Russia & Ukraine
- Thread starter UsualName
- Start date
A new milestone is hit -- the 350K mark -- of dead and seriously wounded Russians. Putin is running out of conscripts.
Just a matter of time until $300 Billion of frozen Russian assets are used to fund Ukraine.
U.S. and Europe Eye Russian Assets to Aid Ukraine as Funding Dries Up
Despite legal reservations, policymakers are weighing the consequences of using $300 billion in Russian assets to help Kyiv’s war effort.

Let's see what they are saying in Russia...
Russian wives accuse the country's security service of forcing their husbands to lie about war conditions, calling Putin a 'coward' and 'our rat king,' report says

does that mean ukraine is winning?
are they in crimea already?
now lets see what's in real not fake news
oops, it's so bad in ukrainian army that conscript officials hide in ambulance to hijack ukrainian men on streets. So yeah UKraine is running out of conscripts
While Ukraine needs to figure out many administrative (and I guess other) issues, I'd be glad if Russia's frozen assets were funded to Ukraine. This war requires so much money. Of course, they stand together and help each other. Various projects were created to help the Ukrainian paramedics and armed forces to get cars. Cartodonate is a great example. But still, ordinary civil people can't sponsor the war.

Confiscating Russian assets “would create more problems than it would solve,” Bloomberg’s editorial board wrote, setting a dubious legal precedent that could undermine the international economic order. It might also cross a line by showing countries such as China or Saudi Arabia that Western securities depositories may not always be safe.

If true then I would say this:
YOWZER!

USA is an extremely weak and its military ridiculuos. They can't even protect red sea against cavemen. Now do you really believe if they steal money from real military superpower like Russia they won't get a bill?
First keep in mind that the rockets being launched in the Red Sea are from Iran. This is all part of Iran's proxy war against the West. The Iranian militants in Yemen are about to learn a harsh lesson that their activities are unacceptable. The U.S., U.K., Canada, Bahrain, Denmark, Greece, Netherlands, and Norway with Operation Prosperity Guardian will quickly remedy the situation.
Secondly, all Russia can do about the diversion of their frozen funds to Ukraine is flap their wings, shit on the floor, and threaten to cut ties to Washington. Russia does have the military capability to take on the West, and with each passing day in Ukraine things get more bleak for the Kremlin. With a mere 4% of the U.S. military budget Ukraine has already destroyed over 50% of Russia's military. $300 Billion in frozen funds will help in finishing the Russian military off.
Russia Threatens To Break Ties With Washington, After U.S. and EU Eye Seizing $300 Billion in Moscow’s Overseas Reserves
America ‘must not act under an illusion … that Russia is clinging with both hands to diplomatic relations with that country,’ Russia’s deputy foreign minister, Sergey Ryabkov, says.
